The only exception to this would be for workers under 18 (child labor laws tend to limit when juveniles can work). Your employer may also reduce your pay, though not retroactively, as long as they meet the minimum wage and again, as long as you do not have a contract that states otherwise. Local laws may vary but typically do not; and as with anything, your employer cannot make these types of decisions, especially with regards to pay, for a discriminatory or illegal reason (e.g. retaliation for "blowing the whistle" where you are protected by law from such retaliation).
